Withlacoochee State Forest – Johnson Pond

Sandra — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 21:30:40 +0000

One of the best, easiest, and child-friendly places to see a rosemary scrub up close and personal, Johnson Pond is a gentle walk in the woods out to an observation deck over its namesake and through a variety of habitats, most notably the moss-filled rosemary scrub. It is one of the northernmost botanical sites in Citrus County.

Deer moss along the Rocky Bayou Trail

I love mossy places. Deer moss is especially striking when it carpets the forest floor beneath a canopy of live oaks, as it does here along the Rocky Bayou Trail in Rocky Bayou State Park near Niceville.
